Jackson Police Lt. Elmer Hitt said two unidentified black men went into the bank around 11:30 a.m. with two handguns.

According to Hitt, the two suspects demanded money and were able to flee the scene in a white Ford bronco, with an undisclosed amount of money.

Hitt said witnesses saw the white vehicle head north on Pleasant Street.

The suspects stopped about two blocks north of the bank and got into two separate vehicles, which then were seen heading westbound, Hitt said.

The Jackson Police Department is now following up on leads in the investigation.

Hitt said there were no injuries reported from the incident.

The bank now is closed. Yellow police tape is surrounding the parking lot and strung across the entrances.

This same Citizens Bank branch was robbed nearly two years ago.
On July 27, 2010, detectives arrested a 40-year-old man minutes after
police believed he robbed the branch. The man was stopped at Elm Street
and I-94.
